I've been making paddles as a hobby, usually just carving them out of single blank of wood (no bends or bent shafts on these). I am now trying to (expand my skill set to) make laminated paddles and have bought some balsa to add into the blades (along with ash, white cedar and red cedar). Anybody know if there will be a failure between the laminations of the balsa with the other woods if I don't add fiberglass, kevlar or carbon over the blade? Or should I just stay with using the laminations of the other harder woods?

Looking to get a cover for my new Pueo. Who makes one in stock on Oahu? Canoe will be stored outside until I can clear out the garage.

Looking at trying out a double-bend paddle this season for OC1.

Unfortunately I'll be ordering blind without a demo. Is there a general rule of size change between a single-bend to double?

I currently use a 50" Kialoa Axel II for OC1 and a 51" Mana Ultra X3 for OC6.

What would you suggest I start with for size?

Many thanks.

I'm 190 lbs and paddle a Pegasus. I'm looking for a more comfortable seat than the stock seat that it came with. Or the best tool to widen the seat by trimming in sides and if there is a padded material that can be added over the existing seat after trimming. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Anyone have an opinion on a foam core OC6?

I am looking top buy or build a towing bridle for towing an OC-6. In Hawaii they use some prefab towing bridle that they have to have on the escort/official boats. Does anybody have information where to buy these bridles. or how to make your own? thanks

Anybody have any information on the Gator (Outrigger Connection)? I am thinking of buying a used Gator for California waters. I have found information that it's a good flat water boat. Any advice?

I am looking for advice on a GPS heartrate monitor to use for tracking my workout on my one man. I've noticed a few out there that people use. I recently saw this great deal online at http://www.wearable-gps.com/ for $135

Any recommendation stories on this garmin 305?

I am 220lb and 6'3". Is there a canoe out there for a bigger guy. I am currently paddling a Wainui. It feels like it needs a bit more volume behind the seat. All the other OC1's I have tried are the same. Is there an OC1 for the bigger guy.
